2019 Camille Giroud Chambertin Grand Cru

96 Deep dark magenta. The bouquet suggests immense power, combined with some well-chosen oak. Ravishingly charming if clearly very ripe aromatics, then a critical intensity on the palate with a brilliant firmness of backbone to save the day. Startlingly fine in its very ripe style, but some will find the ripeness a touch too far. Drink from 2029-2039. Tasted: September 2023. - Jasper Morris
